The overarching goal of the European Investment Bank Group is to strengthen the competitiveness of the EU economy, social and territorial cohesion, climate action and strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy. Reaching these goals requires focusing on investments in eight priority areas:
– contributing to a fair green transition as the Climate Bank,
– accelerating the digital transformation and technological innovation,
– stepping up investment in the security and defense industry,
– contributing to a modern cohesion policy,
– developing innovative financing to support agriculture and the bioeconomy,
– fostering investment in social infrastructure,
– pioneering the Capital Markets Union,
– focusing on impact outside the EU.
Due to the magnitude of the challenges, it is important to ensure that the EIB Group is best prepared to implement the European Union’s priorities. This requires efficient use of resources within the group and strengthening its capacity to implement and scale the necessary activities in the coming years.
